The woman who has accused Supreme Court
Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, Christine Blasey Ford, has been invited to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday,
but the chairman of the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, says that she has not responded to the three or four emails sent by the staff over "the last
36 hours." The committee spokesman said that the emails had been sent to her lawyer, and there has been no answer.

she does not seem to want to
testify under oath would be my guess

www.politico.com... have the vote and on the off chance it turns
out hes guilty just impeach him then

The only thing to do at this point is to let the full Senate vote, with each senator considering this
late-breaking allegation however he or she chooses. Nothing can be gleaned from further investigation—a he-said/she-said from the mists of time
isn’t prone to resolution—and Judge Kavanaugh has passed half a dozen FBI background checks anyway. It’s certainly fishy that something like
this comes out at the eleventh hour, more than three months after Kavanaugh was nominated—more than 15 years since he was nominated to the D.C.
Circuit—and after a full slate of hearings (open and closed-door) and senatorial meetings. Even if the claim is true, how do we weigh it against the
exemplary life the nominee has led as an adult? These are all things for senators to consider when they vote. Of course, all this takes place amid a
broken public discourse and poisoned politics, with attempts to impugn Judge Kavanaugh for liking baseball too much or (the horror!) having been in a
fraternity in college—not to mention the rolling filibuster and orchestrated protests that punctuated the confirmation hearings, which were really
the first Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign. Any Republican nominee is now subject to character assassination because of the
apocalyptic narrative Democrats bring to Supreme Court fights and for being picked by Donald Trump, whose election the left has never accepted and
whose authority to make picks has been further questioned after the indictments and criminal pleas of several associates. Indeed, Justice Neil Gorsuch
continues to be seen as illegitimate by many progressives because he “stole” Merrick Garland’s seat (though, of course, Garland was never
attacked personally). The only way to end this circus is to vote on Kavanaugh and let the political chips fall where they may.

prosecution of felonies must start no later than four years after the crime, or seven years if the victim was under the age of 16 when the offense
happened. And that is if they even have evidence a crime was committed which is non existent here.
It is truly embarrassing what our Government and its processes have become

I believe the following is a quick and easy way to put a fork in this claim.

Pres Trump directs the FBI to investigate her claim. Step one, Two FBI agents take her statement on Thursday AM. If she gives the statement that she
has already given she is asked to sign the statement under penalty of perjury. ( Remember Martha?)

She will not give a statement to the FBI so then the entire allegation is dismissed by the FBI as baseless.

BTW, the reason the police require you to sign a police report which details your allegation before they begin an investigation is to keep wackos from
wasting their valuable resources. Dems don’t get take or care.

They already did, if you had been paying attention you would know that.

But is a “background check”, legally, the same as an actual investigation?

And if the FBI did not know that a possible rape attempt had occurred, because the accuser had not spoken of the incident publicly and the accused
never mentioned the possibility of an accusation when initially interviewed, would a “background check” even address the question?

If the assault occurred, the nominee’s fitnesses for the position should be re-considered, and charges drawn, if applicable.

If the assault did NOT occur, the accuser should be exposed as a liar and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

We cannot know which outcome is correct until, and unless, a true and thorough investigation under penalty of law, is conducted and
completed.

There is a very large possibility that there will be no clear cut conclusion, meaning that neither will be punished.

We can not set the precedent that accusers and their political allies can set on allegations until moments before a conformation and then come forward
to delay the conformation, in an effort to gain political benefits.

And why would it be the FBI that investigates this?

Let him be confirmed, if he is then found guilty of attempted rape, let him be impeached.

But if this is allowed to be delayed based on this transparent effort at weaponizing sexual assault allegations for political purposes, then the genie
will be even more out of the bottle, and every political side will have every reason to do the same against their opponents every single
time.
